That probably depends largely on how much hassel she's been going through getting her weekly "house money" out of him.

Sorry - As much as I'm not a fan of Barbara Amiel, she's a self made womanand from what I've seen of her, she's no gold digger. She's also stuck with him even though she could have bailed. Nope. i don't like the woman, but to give her her props, she ain't no gold digger

If there were any problems associated with prostitution, Dutch government was right to take steps to correct the situation, i don't see anything wrong with that.

Just because it's 'legal' and just because the Dutch in particular and Europeans in general are more tolerant, does not mean that legalizing prostitution erases all problems. Look at it! the Netherlands is the TOP destination for human trafficking! And in the top countries - the States isn't even there, so yes, the conditions for sex trade workers in the States may indeed be appalling, the conditions of sex trade workers in the Netherlands - where it is legal, seem to be worse.

States isn't there because states refuses to recognize the problem, so they probably don't keep any statistics. If officially prostitution is regarded as a crime, it will be difficult to get reliable estimates about human trafficking. In Europe where it is legal, i tprobably is relatively easy to get the statistics.

It is like Saudi Arabia claiming that there is no problem of spousal abuse in Saudi Arabia. Since Saudi Arabia refuses to admit there is a problem, probably statistics do not exist as to how many wives are battered every year (my guess would be most of them), the severity of abuse etc.

It's not a profession.

Do you use hookers?

I didn't say it is a profession, I said that it is called the oldest profession in the world.

You think all that? Does the reality agree with you?

Her? ugh. If I was married to her, I don't think I'd be able to get it up.

I assume he is still married to Barbara Amiel. She is a right wing extremist and hence, probably a prude (chastity before marriage, fidelity inside marriage, prayers every day, that kind of thing). Motto of the far right is, sex is dirty, so save it for someone you love.

If so, she probably would welcome it if he cannot get it up.

If he's innocent, what's he afraid of.

I suppose just the lack of desire to waste his time in court and mobey on lawyers could be a deterrent whether guilty or not. But to avoid it does nothing to build his public image, again even if he turns out to be innocent.

After all these years, he should just get it over with and face his accusers.

He's not innocent. He admits to the act. What he objects to is going to jail over it. Poor baby. Since he skipped, then I say jail time for the sexual assault and jail time for skipping.

It is the ones that he could name that are the reason he isn't going to be on trial.

If this creep was never charged it is easy to understand why nobody has.

Jimmy Savile was never a handsome man. His face, even in his early days at the BBC, was all sharp edges — the hook of his nose, the jagged-tooth grin, the boggle-eyed look of eccentricity, humor and derangement. At times, he seemed almost make believe. He had platinum hair. A fat cigar perpetually hung out of his mouth. He seemed to communicate exclusively in catchphrases: “now then, now then,” “howzabout that then,” “as it ‘appens.” The kids just loved his gags.
There was always something off about Savile, who hosted the BBC’s “Jim’ll Fix it,” palled around with the royal family, reportedly spent holidays with the Thatchers and was knighted not only by Queen Elizabeth but by Pope John Paul II. But most forgave his idiosyncratic nature. He was, after all, a great man. He raised $5.2 million for a hospital in Leeds, one of the United Kingdom’s largest. He volunteered countless hours as a hospital aide, busing patients to and fro. He helped scores of young doctors get their starts.
Sure, there were rumors. Whispers that he wasn’t everything he seemed. Murmurs he was really a sexual predator and had abused dozens of children. But they never stuck. Not Jimmy Savile, people told themselves — not “fix-it Jim.”
On October 29, 2011, Savile died at his home in Leeds. “Most of all, I remember him as just a totally flamboyant, over-the-top, larger-than-life character,” radio presenter David Hamilton told the Guardian, praising his “tireless” philanthropy. “And as he was on the air, he was just the same off.”
But he wasn’t. And just how wrong that assessment was emerged this month.
Savile, according to a U.K. National Health Service investigation released Thursday, was a prolific pedophile. The health service investigation only confirmed behavior described in several earlier probes since his death. In all, Savile is believed to have abused at least 500 girls and boys, some as young as two, most between 13 and 15, as well as countless adults ranging up to 75 years old. With unfettered access to Leeds General Infirmary, the health service report said, he raped and fondled boys, girls, men and women in offices and corridors. He also allegedly committed sexual acts on dead bodies, and even told several hospital workers that he made jewelry out of one man’s glass eyeball.
As shocking as the findings are, even more shocking is the fact that Savile got away with it for so long. That realization has “shaken our country to the core,” U.K. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Thursday. For decades, while Savile hosted show after show and glad-handed, the abuse went on. Numerous columns have asked: How? How did no one know? Why wasn’t he stopped?
The answer, according to the National Health Service, psychologists, and academics, lies in the pervasive and intimidating power of celebrity. He was so well-known that even when his behavior struck some as strange or lewd, he was allowed to carry on because he was Jimmy Savile and was raising millions. “I don’t know if he were a law unto himself, but because of his celebrity status, he sort of basically had the run of the place,” one hospital worker told investigators.
One woman recalled Savile sexually assaulting her when she was 16. Even decades later, she told investigators, she remembered it vividly. After he was done, he turned an imperial eye to her. “You won’t talk about this,” he told her. “Nobody will believe you. I’m Jimmy Savile. I can get you.” The girl said she told her mother, but she didn’t believe her. The girl never talked about it again.
Savile, wrote Ian Robertson, a professor of psychology at Trinity College Dublin, had a “super-sense of being able to sniff out the most psychologically vulnerable who would either not tell or not be believed. … Here we have an associate of the highest echelons of British society. This halo likely acted like a protective force-field around him, not because of any collusion by any of the elite necessarily, but simply because of his repeated association with their own super-status.”
In 1960, when Savile was 34, he arrived at Leeds General Infirmary to begin a relationship with the sprawling institution that would last five decades. At first, he mostly dealt in fundraising. But in 1968, he had an unusual request: He wanted to become a “porter” and bus patients. “When Mr. Savile offered his services as a voluntary porter I was a little concerned about the press implications and how he would fit into a busy teaching hospital,” a hospital director later said. “My concern was wholly unfounded and he has done an extremely good job and is accepted by all sections of the staff.”



How did Woody Allen escape that fate, too?
The same way all of them do, go to jail become a songbird for all the other creeps he knew.

So far Trump has had 1500 creeps arrested since Jan.20 and you won't find that on CNN or any other mainstream media outlet. Need you wonder why?

Of those arrested, how many are guilty? Or do we not believe in the presumption of innocence anymore?

I hate it when idiots make stupid comments about things they know absolutely nothing about. Research, at least, on things that you are ignorant about.

He was charged, he was found guilty, and then before he was sentenced, he skipped the fu cking country. There is no fu cking question about his guilt or innocence. He didn't "get away" with sweet p*ss all. He fu cking fled their jurisdiction.
'

So, like I said, jail time for the original offence, and jail time for fleeing.

What's the statute of limitations say? This happened back in the early 70s. Realistically he's a real sleaze bag and always will be, legally it may be too late.

He was found FU CKING GUILTY!!!!!!!!! There is no "statute of limitations" when you have been found GUILTY and then fled the jurisdiction.The fu cking scum back ran like a little kid instead of taking responsibility for his fu cking actions. Why would ANYONE try to find some way out for this piece of shyte? It's not like we are not sure if he fu cked the 13 yr old. There is no doubt about that. It is a done deal.

The arrests were by the FBI they are pretty careful about who they arrest so charges that get dropped are about 'ZERO'. The question will be is how many people do they rat out to save their own '*ss. Odd in that where they would be going would be them having sex at the request of bigger and stronger people than themselves and suddenly that is a 'bad thing'.
Reminds me of the guy that in front of me a skydiving school. He did not want to jump so the instructor said if you don't I'm going to *ss rape you. Long story short, he jumped, . . . a little at first.
Need I say more?
